IB vs ER offers in London
Hi everyone. I'm having a difficulty making a final decision about the two offers I have. Did SA at a BB ER (one of GS/JPM/MS top teams), then O/C at a BB as well. Full-time in both cases would start in March.
Recruiting went exceptionally well given that I'm from a semi-target. Now for the decision - what do you think? For comp, IB is slightly higher (£5k) in base and would typically have double the bonus. However I've been too invested in security analysis and actually passed 2 levels of CFA.
For exit - both lead to top L/S HF in London, but ER is a heavy feeder into LO AM, which has been a dream for me, even if it's a weakling industry.
Appreciate any takes here.
I would take ER simply because banking in London doesn't offer anything ER doesn't, except PE. Like you said HFs and AMs take sell-side analysts. You'll have a better wlb to prepare for interviews, read case studies, network etc. Good luck.
You just said ER will lead to your dream job, so what’s the point of asking for advice between the two options.
It was. Now I'm not even sure if it's possible to break into, or if it's going to be a good choice given the underperformance epidemic in LO AM
